Music

From the Organ Bench 
     - a Special Message from Ed Dacus

There are some new things going on in the music area of the Chapel. We have formed an informal adult choir for the 8:45 service to lead the congregational singing of that service. We sit as a group in the pews facing the organ. If you are interested in participating, just come at 8:20 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We will meet in the Chapel and rehearse the music for the service for that day.

We have been using the new hymnal supplement, Wonder, Love, and Praise, in the 8:45 service. This is a fine collection of many different types of music that is enhancing that service.

The Children's music program provides opportunities for various age groups. We are fortunate to have expert leadership by motivated and talented teachers. The preschool choir, ages 3-5, is under the direction of Viola Dacus, who teaches the children easy spiritual songs as well as introduces principles of music at an introductory level.

The 1st and 2nd grade choir is directed by Jennifer Hartsill, one of the finest young music educators in our area. As well as learning music appropriate for that level, children in this choir build on basic principles learned in the preschool choir and complements music classes in school. This choir continues what was begun in the preschool and 1st/2nd grade choirs, and continues solfeg as a more advanced level than the younger choirs.
